It's weird how the thought of them trying hard is making me angry.

This isn't healthy.

Matty Blythe in at the corner. Men against boys at the moment. Bradford running away with it with 4 scores in the opening 15 mins.

Whitehaven 0 Bradford 20

Whitehaven in through Perez.

Whitehaven 6 Bradford 20

Whitehaven in again.

Whitehaven 10 Bradford 20

Don't fret, it sounds like they've reverted to type!

Start like wildfire and then go to sleep - the story of our season...

Alex Mellor in again. Half time score:

Whitehaven 12 Bradford 26

Rohan Smith really needs to look at the mental side of this team. There's an undeserved arrogance, IMO, about this Bradford team. They seem to think that the club name alone is enough for them to be awarded the win every week. It's not and it hasn't been for along time.

We started this afternoon like a house on fire, got a good early league and then it seems the team took their foot off the gas and allowed Whitehaven to claw back some ground.

I think a big clear out of some of the so called big names in the side might actually help Rohan Smith to improve the attitude of the playing staff and actually bring in players who want to play for the shirt, the team and their teammates.

I believe that's the best approach for Rohan to take in the off season.

Who's playing ahead of them that is leaving?

Oakes would have been in the three quarters. Blythe, Mellor, Welham and Williams are our three quarter line, none of which have been heavily rumoured as already signed elsewhere.
Keyes would have been in the halves. Chisholm has already said he's here next season, Charnock is allegedly being looked at to make his loan permanent.

Not saying it's correct to leave those 2 out, but I fail to see who's playing ahead of them today who is leaving next season. Only argument you could make it Mellor could be at loose and leave Addy out.

Mellor in for his hatrick.

Whitehaven 12 Bradford 30

Very scrappy game.

Welham extends the Bulls lead.

Whitehaven 12 Bradford 34

Anybody know what the attendance is!

Kieran Moss in under the sticks after a Mellor break.

Whitehaven 12 Bradford 40

13 errors, crap

Listening to BCB. My good lady wife has just said that the last 5 minutes listening to Mick has made her prefer ironing. And believe me that is some condemnation.

Whitehaven in with another soft score.

Whitehaven 16 Bradford 40

Sheffield appear to be doing us a favour by beating Halifax.

Haggerty in for another Bulls score.

Whitehaven 18 Bradford 44

910

Full time score:

Whitehaven 18 Bradford 46

910 attendance this week i wonder what it will be next week

Does anyone else remember all the professional pundits saying what a brilliant coach McNamara was going to be. You watched his team week after week saying 'Well I must be wrong because I just don't see it". I have this feeling of deja vu or deja poo as it is called on another thread.

Careful, you might give off the idea that anyone actually cares about this competition.

Mentioned on BCB maybe 150 Bulls fans. They described it as the lowest away following of the SL era.

I don't expect this will come as any great surprise!
